a few days later, on a full moon night, you decided to go out of your room to sit on the veranda and simply watching the beautiful and mysterious Moon. The light of the moon was incredebly bright, you didn´t even need a candle as light source. No sound was heared, exept the slightly breeze in this warm summer night. You looked around in the garden before the House and listen to the the chirp of the crickets. The world at night always looked so diffrent, you thought and took the paper fan to get some fresh air, cooling your skin slightly. Since yesterday, the temperatures were extremly high. You heared some people talking about the it, and that also in the region, the senju ruled, no drop of rain fell, for a week. Many Uchiha said mockingly, it is a punishment from the Gods to this Clan. You only listend and did´nt have a real opinion to this, because you don´t know anyone of them directly and didn´t want to say something wrong, because this situation was still new and in your former years of living, you never had to take someones side or were confronted with war, directly. You smile slightly and close your eyes, let the moonlight shine on you and relaxe, as you hear a rustle near you. It sounded like a person was moving. You opened your eyes and starred in the direction, only to open your Eyes in shock, to see Madara, sitting also on the veranda, only 2 meters away, but he leaned neyt to the shōji-door. You couldn´t tell if his eyes were closed or open, because he sat in the shadow area of the veranda, that was also the reason you might not noticed him before.
- was he sitting there the whole time? - , you thought to yourself.
You could here a light chuckle coming from that man.
„Your face expressions are still very uncommon to me.", he said and grined slightly, but you could barely see that. He sat just in this dark spot. You gained back your normal face expression and looked at him. „This seems to be funny to you, but I´m sorry that I´m not someone with an iron heart, that only has a solem face... but your right, even my father said I should hide my feelings a lot better under a solem face."
„In a world like this, it is better to not show to much emotions, especially in front of your enemy, because this could be your downfall... and in your case, I can image this royal humans have to have a heart of stone... I only met a few Lords, that wanted me and my clan to fight there wars, and I never met one with good intentions for the people who served him. It is all about getting power and money, nothing more matters to them. If they would care about the people who serve them, I think our world would look very diffrent... maybe we would´nt be forced to send our children on the battlefield, or even loose so many of our own flesh and blood.", he said and took a moment before he continued. „but why I tell this to you, you don´t understand anything of this, because you were raised as a privileged child, not knowing the fear of loosing your simblings, or family. I lost 3 brothers till now, but won´t let anyone takeing the life of my younger brother!", he said determined.
„three... brothers?", you asked while thinking about what he said, about loosing 3 brothers, this must be terrible.
„I´m sorry for that. It must be terrible, loosing simblings, I don´t want to imagine this pain.", you say looking down a bit sad.
„As long as I can protect Izuna, I take this as lessons... it might sound cruel to you, but life goes on and I will get stronger to protect him and my clan before every enemy that shows up. Our father, teached us a lot about taking pain to rise above any other beeing. And in the end we an´t choose in which family we are born to, we can only making the best out of our lifes."
You watched him as he said this words, even when he sat in the shadows and you could barely see his face, you imagned it with determination and maybe a slight grin on his lips. In fact it was the first time you talked with him, without any kind of insulting comment from his side about your former princess life or that your and his temper boild over about a sentence, the other one of you said. It was a new feeling, somehow like to see a diffrent face of each other.
„Whats your name?", he suddenly kicked you out of your thoughts with that sudden question. You looked at him startled for a milisecound, before you told him your name.
„I see... so maybe, if you behave, I will use it, instead of your status rank.", he said while chuckling then. „But even so, since you live with us, you won´t get back to that state of a princess, _.", he stood up and took a step in your irection, out of the shadows. You could finally see his face illuminated by the moon light.
„Izuna told me you are bored during the day so I decided to change this. from tomorrow on, you will be trained to become a useful woman.", he said, „good night.", with this words he turned away from you and went back into his room. You look after him and repeated his words. „usefull woman?". With thoughts about the meaning behind these words, you went to sleep.
